This session will provide a detailed overview on how to gain greater visibility into and control over nonsourced, noncontracted, and unplanned purchases. According to the Hackett Group, 15% of indirect spend is never sourced and is difficult to manage. How do employees buy things not found in the company catalog? How do you manage one-off long-tail suppliers? Is your P-Card program delivering on its promises? Participate in this session to learn more, see a live demo, and speak with the experts to get started with Ariba Spot Buy.
